A 3-panel character reference sheet arranged as three equal vertical columns side by side in a single horizontal frame, separated by thin clean white gutters, all three panels on the same soft off-white seamless studio backdrop. Each panel shows the same single man: tall lean build with broad shoulders and long limbs. Light warm skin with a soft natural finish. Soft oval face with a defined jawline and slightly pointed chin, high flat cheekbones, dark brown almond-shaped eyes with a gentle lid fold, thick dark straight brows with a slight arch, straight nose with a rounded tip, full lips with a natural rosy tone, small dark beauty marks on the left cheek, light stubble shadow along the jaw and upper lip. Voluminous loose spiral curls, honey-blonde and caramel highlights through the curls fading to dark brown at the roots, tapered shorter dark brown sides above the ears.

He wears a weathered black felt tricorn hat with a frayed, slightly warped brim, curls spilling out beneath it at the forehead and sides. A long mustard-yellow cotton frock coat falling just above the knee, buttoned down the front with small dark buttons, grime and brown stains streaked across the chest and front panels, the fabric creased and softened with wear. Contrasting sage-green set-in sleeves, slightly loose and gathered at the wrists. A wide black leather belt cinched at the waist with a large scuffed square brass buckle. A dusty purple-grey patterned sash knotted at the left hip, its long frayed ends hanging past the knee. Slightly baggy dark brown knee-length breeches gathered just below the knee. Cream stockings on the left lower leg above a scuffed dark brown leather shoe. The right lower leg ends in a turned dark wooden peg leg, worn smooth and darkened with age.

Panel 1 (left column): Full body front, cropped at the jawline so the frame runs from the chin down to the floor. Straight-on neutral stance, weight even between the left shoe and the peg leg, arms hanging relaxed at the sides, hands loose. Entire outfit readable from collar to shoe and peg, centered in the column with clean space around the figure.

Panel 2 (center column): Full body back, cropped at the base of the head so the frame runs from the nape down to the floor. Straight back view, same relaxed stance, arms at the sides, showing the back of the mustard coat with its stains and creases, the sage-green sleeves, the belt across the back, the sash ends hanging at the hip, the breeches, the shoe heel, and the full length of the wooden peg leg.

Panel 3 (right column): Chest-up portrait, face turned slightly toward a three-quarter angle with eyes directly to camera, head tilted a touch, lips softly closed with a calm neutral expression. The tricorn hat, curls beneath the brim, brows, eyes, beauty marks, skin texture, the buttoned coat front with its stains, and the tops of the sage-green sleeves fill the frame.

Soft natural diffused studio light, even and gentle across all three panels, soft key from camera-front at a slight angle with broad fill, soft shadows only, no harsh contrast. Sharp focus across every panel. Identical character identity locked across all three panels — same face, same skin, same hair, same wardrobe, same accessories, same proportions in every column.

Hyperrealistic photography. Real human skin texture with visible pores, subtle subsurface scattering on the cheeks, nose bridge, and ears, fine peach fuzz catching light along the jawline and cheekbones, slight skin imperfections — natural unevenness, not retouched. Hair rendered strand by strand with realistic flyaways, baby hairs at the hairline, individual curls catching light, light transmission through the blonde curl ends, natural texture and movement. Fabric rendered with real weave detail, real weight, real drape, visible texture variation across the cotton coat, the felt hat, and the patterned sash. Wood grain visible on the peg leg. Eyes with real reflection, real moisture, real depth in the iris. Metal with real surface detail and patina on the brass buckle. Kodak Portra 400 film emulation, visible fine film grain, soft natural color with gentle warmth, slightly lifted blacks, soft lens vignette. Lived-in, not pristine. Photographic, not rendered.
